Thanks Pat. I thought that might be it. Good idea. Innerfacing really is the same thing, just different weights. They are "spun-bonded". Rather than weaving the fibers, they are blown out and bonded at points or randomly, creating sheets of material. They are made from polyesters and polypropylenes.

Yes, it's sold in fabric departments. It's the stuff bride's veils are
made out of - you can probably picture it by thinking of it that way. It's
full of holes, in other words.

It will not keep beet leaf miners off chard, for example. But the holes
are small enough that it does keep out cabbage butterflies and moths. If
I'm careful not to tear it, I can use it for a couple of seasons.

Interfacing *is* very similar to row cover: the first time I bought row
cover, I realized the similarity. They're both non-woven. I don't know
how they are put together, but it isn't a process of weaving. But the
nylon net isn't anything like them.
